THE OFFICE: Greg Daniels and Mindy Kaling on Steve Carell’s Departure and the New Season

For months, people have been talking non-stop about Steve Carell’s exit from THE OFFICE.

Don’t get us wrong — it’s a huge deal. Carell’s absence — as well as the departure of Michael Scott — will be heavily felt once he leaves.

However, we have an entire season left with him, so why not enjoy that time?

When Give Me My Remote caught up with THE OFFICE co-creator Greg Daniels and writer/producer/star Mindy Kaling, we asked if they expected Carell’s exit to become this big of a deal to the mainstream public.

What did they have to say? And what’s coming up in tonight’s season premiere that is so top-secret they can barely tease it?
